Isaiah 60:15-22 (English Standard Version)
"15(A) Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
with no one passing through,
(B) I will make you majestic forever,
a joy from age to age.
16(C) You shall suck the milk of nations;
you shall nurse at the breast of kings;
and you shall know that(D) I, the LORD, am your Savior
and your Redeemer,(E) the Mighty One of Jacob.
17Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
and instead of iron I will bring silver;
instead of wood, bronze,
instead of stones, iron.
I will make your overseers peace
(F) and your taskmasters righteousness.
18(G) Violence shall no more be heard in your land,
devastation or destruction within your borders;
(H) you shall call your walls Salvation,
and your gates Praise.
19(I) The sun shall be no more
your light by day,
nor for brightness shall the moon
give you light;[a]
but the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.[b]
20Your sun shall no more go down,
nor your moon withdraw itself;
for the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and(J) your days of mourning shall be ended.
21(K) Your people shall all be righteous;
(L) they shall possess the land forever,
(M) the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
that I might be glorified.[c]
22(N) The least one shall become a clan,
and the smallest one a mighty nation;
(O) I am the LORD;
in its time I will hasten it."
Incredible that a God such as this one would claim to know me. to love me. What a day to look forward to!
